You use a proxied Bing. If you want a proxied Google (what I prefer), you can use https://startpage.com

Difference to Google is how they position themselves in regards to privacy, and that Google actually built a search engine. Both make their money by providing ad space.
I did no such thing but looked around and found the company had been sold to an advertiser/tracker. It used to work much, much better than ddg:(
And this is educational content, text only, no ads or popups, no SEO hacking. Bing's analysis tool told me only that I was missing the "lang" attribute from my HTML tag. So I added it, but of course that wasn't the issue.
I reached out to them, and they replied saying that the page didn't meet the requirements for listing, but didn't elaborate.
It certainly makes me wonder what content their broken algorithm is missing.
And it sucks because it means DDG is missing that content, too.
This is especially dangerous because it propagates an illusion that there's dozens of engines to choose from. The reality is these three companies control more and more of humanity's ingress to information, censoring what they see fit for political/financial gain.
